Correct. They don't have to be high grade, just from famous collections. Eliasberg, for example, would be one of the most well known.

If i ever get my coins back i will show the pedigree !
Top 5 sets in the registry can have the the coins pedigreed
As I have previously relayed to a few forum members privately.....
In the good old days, one needed to be both famous AND dead in order to have coins pedigreed........
As time went by, that changed to a requirement of just being famous (dead or alive)......
Now, it's often simply a matter of being dead OR alive and famous OR not.
It seems that "pedigreeflation" is as prevalent as "gradeflation".
Might be fun to make up an expensive sounding pedigree with some lame story and find some registry set that would be easy to get into the top five. Have it pedigreed and see if you can get a premium on e-bay. You never know what people are looking for.

True, but I think the vast majority of collectors still think "famous and dead" when they hear the word pedigree.
